Background
Japan's PPP/PFI framework has been built out quickly: priority review regulations have spread, MLIT established the Small Concession Platform, and the regional platform agreement scheme has been rolled out. Yet a structural gap separates the existence of an institution from its functioning. This lab crosses public data from the Cabinet Office, MIC and MLIT with practitioners' knowledge, analysing quantitatively and structurally whether these institutions work as intended and where the blank spaces lie.
